List of projects which system calls table helped

[hrw]

I know that my system calls table helped some projects. Know few names but would love to see is it still in use (no worry, will maintain it).

So if table helped you in some project then please comment with it's name.

systemd: I use this table regularly when updating https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/src/basic/missing_syscall.h.

@keszybz do you use tables/syscalls-* files directly or other way?

[keszybz]

I copied stuff by hand from the html page. But this might change. We are discussing importing a table of syscall numbers into our sources (see systemd/systemd#16739 (comment)). I wonder what the best way to do this would be... I think pulling in the tables/* files from here once per release would be a good way. We do something similar with other sources, like pciids, and it works out nicely.

One solution is grabbing data from my project, other (probably more sane long term) would be using in-kernel files.

Kernel moved to keep syscall numbers in parseable files few releases ago. I use them to check for new system call names.

The project helped expanding architecture support for the python-ptrace module. Thanks for your work !

I use this table to supply syscall nums to my fuzzer project (it's heavly under the development at this time, I will edit here when I release it). For example i used it mmap syscall for i386, amd64, arm and aarch64 to reserve some memory on the target process by injecting native system call gadget. Thanks for this cool job.

I created a simple Rust library to wrap your tables/syscalls-* files. The source is available here: https://github.com/willfindlay/sysnames-rs

My "system-calls" Python module uses same data.

More about it in my blog post: Python package for system calls information

Hello, I am working on my seminar work to school, its great table very helpfull...
It is a pity that it is not possible to go back to the old versions like v3.19.8, that would help me

[hrw]

@Maylo99 grab code, checkout old kernel version and run against it.

The part collecting system call names would fail but the one checking for presence should work.

If it does not then ping me.

[Maylo99]

@hrw unfortunately i have no idea how to do this... If that didn't take a long time, would you please send me a table from version 3.19.8? I would be very grateful to you

[hrw]

1. git clone this repo
2. cd syscalls-table
3. unpack Linux source
4. make KERNELSRC=PATH-TO-LINUX-SOURCE

And then you get system call tables for used Linux version.

Some syscall names may be missing as code for searching for them can go wrong and architectures already removed from kernel appear again and can be done wrong.

[Maylo99]

Thank you it works, I will definitely mention you and your program in my seminar work...

@hrw one more question when a system call has a big number in that table such as 9437324, is it generating error or how is it represented there? And other numbers are system call ID number?

[hrw]

Table shows proper values for each architecture.

Please open new issues for such questions next time.
